Incremental pressing with an increment height of 0.5 mm gave a very homogeneous column.
We assessed the diameter increment, height increment, and height to diameter ratio of ca. 5500 permanently marked saplings growing in local neighbourhoods that differ in number and identity of the sapling species present.
After 5 years, total stand volume per plot remained lower in the three thinning treatments than the control (50.20, 30.07, 18.99 and 11.86 m3 in the control, 3000, 1000 and 400 stems ha−1 treatments), whereas mean stand diameter, diameter increment, height, and height increment were increased by thinning, and top height (tallest 100 trees ha−1) was unaffected.
Specific objectives were to: (1) test the component equations of Northeast (FVS NE) for bias in the Adirondacks Region; (2) refit component equations (total height, bole height, diameter increment, height increment, and mortality) as necessary; and (3) evaluate and present long term prediction behavior for forest types common to the region.
We began by building a generic simulator that contained the relevant equations for diameter increment, height increment, and crown size for each of the four simulators.
We used the observed removal and mortality and the observed ingrowth during the simulation on all plots to avoid any confounding of diameter increment, height increment, and crown models with further submodels.
Generally speaking, individual-tree growth models consist of functions for predicting diameter increment, height increment, crown size (e.g., crown ratio), and the probability of mortality for each tree over a given time period.
We began by building a generic simulator that contained the relevant equations for diameter increment, height increment and crown size for each of the four simulators (BWIN (Nagel, 2009), Moses (Hasenauer, 1994; Kindermann and Hasenauer, 2005), Prognaus, (Hasenauer and Monserud, 1996; Monserud and Sterba, 1996; Nachtmann, 2006) and Silva (Pretzsch, 1992; Kahn, 1994)).
